ECLIPSE GARDEN GOWN

SHADOW, STRUCTURE, AND THE ROSETTE MOTIF THAT RUNS THROUGH THE WHOLE COLLECTION.

This one came together fast — corseted bodice, rosettes along the neckline, a column skirt in a stone-textured print that reads almost like moonlit pavement. It's a sketch-only design, not something I've actually sewn yet.

  • FABRIC & MATERIAL
